Clinical Trial: Tissue Validation of Mammographic Breast Arterial Calcification in Mastectomy Specimens (SIDEMARA)

U.S., Oct. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07865884) titled 'Tissue Validation of Mammographic Breast Arterial Calcification in Mastectomy Specimens (SIDEMARA)' on Oct. 03.

Brief Summary: Breast arterial calcification (BAC) is a common incidental finding on screening mammograms and has been associated with cardiovascular disease in women. However, every study in this field has been imaging-based. The accuracy of mammography for detecting breast arterial calcification has only ever been measured against another radiologist reading the same mammogram, never against the tissue itself. As a result, it is not known how much calcification mammography misses, nor whether what it shows represents medi...
